Just make sure you run these under the same user account name - otherwise you'll need to create a new account if you are running each hlds process under a different username... It places a hidden folder in the root of that username called: .steam where ClientRegistry.blob resides with your settings.... If you run 3 servers on one machine - you only need to create one account if you use the same account to run hlds
ie - ./steam -create emailaddress password "question" "hint" <- use the quotes then: ./steam -update mod /username/hlds_l emailaddress password Y (the Y tells it to remember your credentials. so in the future - as long as your logged into your box with the same user name you can type: ./steam -update mod and the -autoupdate will also know the username/pass Doesn't matter the IP/MAC, etc. make sense?
